It is estimated that public transportation use in our country saves more
than 1 billion gallons of gasoline each year. According to the U.S.
Energy Information Administration, the average retail price of gas in
2008 was about $3.39 per gallon. That means people who used public
transportation in 2008 saved nearly 3.5 billion dollars!

Even in communities as small as ours, we sometimes have too many
vehicles on the road. More cars on the road — more opportunities for
traffic accidents. And heavier traffic can translate into a longer, more
stressful commute to work. Plus, the more time we spend driving our
cars, the more our cars experience wear and tear.

In the U.S., 82 percent of our human-made greenhouse emissions are
carbon dioxide emissions. When chemical particulates hang in the air, we
breathe them into our lungs. They can cause or worsen bronchial or
pulmonary illness. Air pollutants also contribute to acid rain, which in
turn seeps into our groundwater, streams, and lakes. It kills soil
organisms, introduces toxins to plants and animals, and slows the growth
of trees. Our ecosystem is a vital component of our air quality. If we
destroy it, we destroy our ability to breathe. By contributing fewer
pollutants that produce smog and greenhouse gases, public transportation
helps maintain national air quality standards.

Monday through Friday, 34 million times each day, people in this country
use public transportation. Join us, won’t you?
